Renewables and the grid are interconnected, and will likely become even more so in the future. A new report has found three very specific ways that renewables will fuel the grid of the future.

The report, conducted by DNV GL, said that a renewables-based electricity system can be possible if certain requirements are met — but there is a massive amount of work still to be done to make this a possibility. The study surveyed 1,600 professionals across 71 countries, assuming that renewables account for 70 percent of power sector generation.
